Controlling Decoupled Parts with Probes

[banded1]

I seem to be having an issue gaining control of parts that ive decoupled from modules i plan to leave in orbit. i have a system set up to send modules to orbit on a rocket that *should* be able to decouple, use RCS to back away from said module, turn for retrograde burn and de-orbit.

as far as i can tell, the system works up until i decouple. i have a power supply for the probe control, and i am able to "control from here" before decoupling. As soon as i decouple, control is reverted back to the module and i cant go back to the rocket. i cant seem to figure out what im doing wrong, or even if im able to do the procedure i want in the current game state. do i need machjeb?

*note: im using docking ports as my coupling at that junction.

Well that was strange...

Was your problem fixed?

[banded1]

yea issue solved. that was the last thing left in my testing so now i cant actually get a station going without a ton of junk and the vehicle will work.
